My Dirt Bender - Another Jounal

[mouthmw]

I think I nearly got a heart attack when I tried to place the Lucydreamer Bass on my pedalboard and the input and power jacks were placed as inconvenient as humanly possible.

This is why I’m moving to Analogman Mini Chorus.

Speaking of that. I did all the required cable work and have my board up and running again, took it to rehearsal and was pleasantly surprised!

Running the signal chain of Doom2 + PX-101 + Mini Chorus yields a fat synth that is super touch sensitive. I set the output so high it engages the comp more or less immediately, so I can use dynamics to direct the filter sweep without bouncing around volume wise.
In the nether regions of the board, there still is a Fuzzrocious BDPG and an Xotic BB Bass Preamp, as well as the C4 Synth, which I did not take off yet to do some more A/B comparison before waving it good bye.

Is this the reggae band board? Trying to visualize a context in which that fat synth sound doesn't get one fired, if so

(he says that, fully non-ironically, using a board chock full of synth sounds in reggae bands...)

I’ve enabled Mr. Murdoque enough, I believe, so I will direct this out to the fellow cork sniffers: does anyone have experience with Jam Pedals? They have a 20% off BF deal right now. They are Europe-based I believe but are doing free international shipping right now as well.

No, but I’ve been considering the Harmonious Monk for a while. I’d have to kick something else off the board, though, and there’s nothing I’m sick of yet. My reverb (Echo Fix spring tank) and delay (new Boss DM-101) are large pedals, but they’re non-negotiable.

one of the most important contextual facts might be that I'm the only person within a larger diameter that is willing, able and (somewhat weirdly) equipped to play bass in a reggae band.
I can get away with some things. Sometimes I can see it in their faces. Like a mild toothache. But they hold their silence.
... there's agreeing bobbing of heads, too.

I respect your chutzpah, @el murdoque!

This is the way.

I was doing some light cleaning this morning, when I found a bag underneath a cupboard. I pulled it out, wondered at the weight and opened it.

I found, as you can see, a Vong Filterung, a Flamma Looper, a Mastotron, a HPF and a LPF.
Upon seeing them, I totally knew that I own these, but before vacuuming underneath that cupboard, they were completely gone from my mind.

How concerning is this?

I was wondering what had become of the Vong (I recall when you first came across it). Happy resolution to that little mystery!
